Sleeping Beauty Disney 2-Disc DVD
Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.
When I was a kid, this was one of the few movies that actually managed to thrill me, and yet scare me in at least …
The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Can’t Buy me Love
I am reviewing the movie, Can’t Buy me Love, starring Patrick Dempsey. `Patrick Depsey plays Ronald Miller, a social outcast in high school. He mows lawns for money. He’s a loser. Then there’s the local popular girl…beautiful, intelligent, irresistable, and unavailable. She’s going out with a guy …
The Stepford Wives (2004)
The new version of The Stepford Wives has its pluses and minuses, compared to the old 1975 movie. The plot is not only modernized but developed in several different directions, and so are some characters. Namely, Joanna Eberhart, the heroine, played by Nicole Kidman. She is a high TV …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
Bloodsport (movie )
While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …
The Bucket List
There are not many movies out there that give you something to intellectually pause over. The Bucket List is an exception to that general rule. Typically when we go to the movies, we are lookig for something happy and uplifting to take us away from the real …
The Penguins’ Whacked-Out Holiday DVD
This movie came as part of a set which included the movie Madagascar. The Penguins’ Whacked-Out Holiday DVD features the penguins from the Madagascar movie. I especially liked the penguins, so it was nice that they got their own little movie, which is basically a short cartoon.
The penguins are …
Odd Girl Out movie
I had often wondered what happened to the actress Alex Vega after the Spy Kids trilogy, as it seemed that she had just disappeared for a while. However, last night when watching the Lifetime television station, I saw her in a movie called “Odd Girl Out”. It was that …

Robot nation eventually split, there are good and they call themselves Autobots under the leadership Optimus Prime while the insurgents known by the name Decepticon under the leadership Megatron, who’s all …
Man of The Year
Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …
Beyond Betrayal movie
A decade after playing lovers on Emerald Point N.A.S., Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey reunited to film this action drama, only this time around Anderson is no nice guy. In fact, this is probably the most violent portrayal I’ve seen of his, and I must be honest. …
Tom Hooper’s biographical movie “The King’s Speech”
On the rare occasion when I spare the money to see a film when it is first released to the cinematic theatres, I tend to be cautious: it is easy to turn off my TV or switch between channels, but a choice made between movies at the cinema is …

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002 Films)
The 2002 film “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” was yet again another great addition to the Star Wars movies. It has so many unique aspects that have set this movie apart from others around it’s time such as the graphics, the plot, the acting, and the pure suspense …

True Grit Movie
The age of Westerns has certainly passed. I cannot remember the last time a movie qualifying for that category has been widely, successfully released. And yet, apparently there is still an audience for them as can be seen with the release of True Grit, a Coen Brothers remake of …
Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …
Sleepwalkers movie
This movie was apparently based on a novel that Stephen King wrote but never got published. Seeing this movie, I can see why King decided not to publish the book because this movie is bad, very bad.
The “sleepwalkers” are cat-like vampire creatures that suck the life force out …

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Since my favourite director is Peter Jackson, I knew that rain or shine I had to go and see his latest movie “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”. Like Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, it is the first in a trilogy of movies that is to …
Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …
Jaws (1975)
Are you the type of person who takes joy in basking in the sunlight at your local beach? If you are then this movie is just the thing you need to watch that will scare the dickens out of you each time you go to that favorite beach of …
World War Z (movie)
I’m generally not really a fan of zombie movies, especially those apocalyptic ones that detail what the end of the world would be like if a great part of the human race were turned into bloodthirsty zombies. However, when the movie World War Z was released I found that …

Dickinson Movie Theater Pittsburg KS
The Dickinson Movie Theater in Pittsburg Kansas is TERRIBLE! I have been attending there for many years now simply because there is no other theater in my area.
You walk in the front door, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad place. The front is well kept, and most …
A Nightmare on Elm Street movie
I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …
Children of Men Movie
Children of Men is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. When I first read the plot of the movie it didn’t seem like a solid movie, but after watching it for just 2 minutes I have changed my mind. This is what a good action should …
Magic Mike film
A few of my friends had seen the movie “Magic Mike” and raved about how good it was. I didn’t really think it would be my kind of movie, so I didn’t watch it when it first came out. A few nights ago, however, I had nothing …
Enchanted
I love the movie show Enchanted extremely! It is fabulous and I am going to purchase the DVD one of these days. Few months back when this movie was firstly released, I was already excitingly anticipating it.
The story is very unique actually. It started out …
An Erotic Werewolf in London Movie DVD
I didn’t like this movie since I believed it was more of a female exploitation movie, which I wasn’t interested in. This was because it contained a lot of female nudity scenes as well as lesbian scenes which made it more resemble soft core pornography than a horror movie. …
The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …
Baker Street Nursemaids
I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
The Cobbler, Movie
The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …
Passion of the Christ
An intensely moving film, The Passion of the Christ explores the last day of the life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. As a Christian myself, I was led to tears at what I witnessed. So often we go to church every Sunday and forget what the true meaning …

Black or White (drama movie)
For me the actor Kevin Costner’s name has become synonymous with watching certain kinds of films. Thus I consider him one of the more “serious” popular actors. Therefore, I found it interesting an refreshing to see that he was doing something a little different when I saw the trailer for …
New Moon movie
I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …
The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift
The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift is the third movie of Fast and Furious. The story of this sequel is not so different from the movie before, it’s about car racing and a lot of good and modification car of course with fight and conflict between the main …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …
Cow Belles
If you’re looking for a good movie that gives you a plot that’s a little different than the other movies you’ve seen then Disney’s movie “Cow Belles” is one you’ll want to avoid.
After finally getting to see the entire film, I can say it is good. But, it’s nothing …
